On Being M.I.A. & Blog Changes + A Giveaway

Let's party like Yumachi & Aina (from back in the day)!  Photo from Tumblr.

So, I've been m.i.a. on this blog, and I'm sorry about that, especially since I only recently started it. But the time I've been away has allowed me to make some decisions about what I want to do with this blog! The things I'm crushing on and my current booms have to do with either fashion (since I'm in the process of changing my style) or anime/gaming. So it makes sense that I'd want to blog about both. But I find that it's not easy for me to combine the two fully, much to my dismay. -_-

Given that, I've decided to separate the two. So anime/gaming/geeking will be mainly blogged about on my Live Journal, while I'll be posting about fashion, my style, photos, shopping, day trips and travel here. It doesn't mean that the two won't cross over at some points; in fact, I look forward to seeing how that pans out as it happens! I'm pretty sure that there will be some otaku-influences that pop up in my style as I explore my options in creating a new look for myself, just as I will probably end up posting daily life bits along with all my geekery over at my LJ. But I guess that my point is that this blog is not dead. In fact, it's just beginning! I hope to make this a style/lifestyle blog that is as interesting to read as it will be to write. Any comments or suggestions are welcome at any time, and if you're reading this, I hope you'll stick around!

So, please bear with me as I work to create a blog to chronicle my style journey and explorations in the fashion world, real life, and daydreams.  Oh, and I'll be working on the blog layout to give it a more suitable design, so please look forward to that too! 

While we're waiting for all the good things to come, make sure to check out Mie's "You Go Gal" Giveaway!  It's got some great stuff that I'm sure we'd *all* love to get our hands on like Dolly Wink No. 2 lashes, GEO lenses, and all kinds of goodies~!

See, TONS of absolutely *fabulous* items!  I'm in total *want* for this many goodies!

The giveaway ends on July 3, 2011, so go enter ASAP for your chance to win one of two awesome hauls!

Until next time~

A Few Words...

I have another post coming up tomorrow/this week, but I want take the time to say GOD BLESS YOU, to all those who have prayed for Japan and donated to the many organizations and services that have set up donation funds to aid relief in Japan.  Please also consider giving what you can to victims of other disasters as well, even as we keep Japan in our hearts and prayers.  Even if it's a couple dollars or even some change, YOU'RE STILL MAKING A DIFFERENCE~  Good things will happen because of it, for sure!

Blog Opening

Tabunne bids you welcome to my blog!  Gah, I just LOVE this little cutie~  I don't need all Pokemon, just this one.  XD

Hello, welcome to my new blog, Red Velvet Stars!  I mean for this to be a lifestyle blog, but I'm pretty sure that it's entirely possible for that to change in the future.  I'm going to try and have interesting and fun posts here, and do my best to enjoy blogging.  ^  ^

This post is meant to kick things off and mark the first day I make my first official post, and coincidentally, it happens to be my birthday!  I'll post about that later this week, so if you're reading this, I really appreciate it, and hope you'll stick around to see how things go!

I've got work in the morning, so off I go~  See you soon!
